I find a very funny disconnect between lived embodied reality versus the ways in which people engage with film media video games etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll give you example\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 One of my favorite fighting games or video games as a teenager growing up was tech, me and all my best friends would always play it, trying to warm up one another\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Bryan Fury was my \u00ef\u00bf\u00bccharacter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The funny thing with video games, video game characters, is that it is a true reflection of your own personal ethos for yourself. For example, the character Brian fury, I think he\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s a cyborg\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 But regardless, he is insanely jacked, shirtless, topless, and in my opinion, by far the most dominant fighter, at least in terms of muscularity And physique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So essentially, when I look at Brian fury, I look at myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And then you think about video games in general, how bizarre it is that you have a bunch of nerves, either insanely twig like and skinny, and nerdy, or, super fat and nerdy, or maybe skinny fat? Anyways, sitting down on their butts, sitting on a couch, with a PlayStation controller in their hands, And play the fighting games in which they are beating the crap out of other virtual players, and if you look at the video game characters, they are essentially insanely jacked, and all look like demigods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For example just look at the Tekken 8 lineup in terms of characters. Do I any of them look like the average American to you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, in terms of physique\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Do any of the fighters, whether a man or woman, look like the real average human being today?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Can you imagine a skinny fat marvel superhero? No. Yeah look at all the people who go watch the movies\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 A bunch of like the fat people from the wall-E movie, really fat, essentially just waddling around\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Coca-Cola in hand, and stuffing themselves with type two diabetes, and watching superheroes be great?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once again\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t the goal to look like the superhero, or become the superhero?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As deadly as ares<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noisy shouts \u00ef\u00bf\u00bc\u00ef\u00bf\u00bc<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low lives<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Observing traffic behavior, on foot\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 It seems that a lot of people who honk at you to hurry up, these guys are low lives? You could obviously tell that they are lower, poor, working class, and a lot of them\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Our driving cell phone in hand?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And sometimes they often honk at people, to hurry up and turn right\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 When there is clearly a sign that says no turn on right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the problem is\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 If you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in front and somebody is honking at you from behind\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 What do you do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The problem is when somebody is honking at you from behind, there is not a way you could honk back at them, it is almost like imagine like you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re in battle\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 And someone tries to spear you from behind? And you cannot defend yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ideal thing would be to have a horn which is actually mounted on the back of your car, on the trunk\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6 Which honks opposite; or have some sort of really really bright headlights or high beams, in the back of your car, which could shoot bright light and blind the assholes that are honking at you from behind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
